From 027c099fd1a31fb3815e592de75d0791a22353b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 14:27:49 +1100 Subject: [RHEL8.2 PATCH 55/61] Assemble: add support for RAID0 layouts. If you have a RAID0 array with varying sized devices on a kernel before 5.4, you cannot assembling it on 5.4 or later without explicitly setting the layout. This is now possible with --update=layout-original (For 3.13 and earlier kernels) or --update=layout-alternate (for 3.14 and later kernels) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen --- Assemble.c | 8 ++++++++ md.4 | 7 +++++++ mdadm.8.in | 17 +++++++++++++++++ mdadm.c | 4 ++++ super1.c | 12 +++++++++++- 5 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Assemble.c b/Assemble.c index b2e6914..6b5a7c8 100644 --- a/Assemble.c +++ b/Assemble.c @@ -1031,6 +1031,11 @@ static int start_array(int mdfd, pr_err("failed to add %s to %s: %s\n", devices[j].devname, mddev, strerror(errno)); + if (errno == EINVAL && content->array.level == 0 && + content->array.layout != 0) { + cont_err("Possibly your kernel doesn't support RAID0 layouts.\n"); + cont_err("Please upgrade.\n"); + } if (i < content->array.raid_disks * 2 || i == bestcnt) okcnt--; @@ -1220,6 +1225,9 @@ static int start_array(int mdfd, return 0; } pr_err("failed to RUN_ARRAY %s: %s\n", mddev, strerror(errno)); + if (errno == 524 /* ENOTSUP */ && + content->array.level == 0 && content->array.layout == 0) + cont_err("Please use --update=layout-original or --update=layout-alternate\n"); if (!enough(content->array.level, content->array.raid_disks, content->array.layout, 1, avail)) diff --git a/md.4 b/md.4 index 6fe2755..0712af2 100644 --- a/md.4 +++ b/md.4 @@ -208,6 +208,13 @@ array, will record the chosen layout in the metadata in a way that allows newer kernels to assemble the array without needing a module parameter. +To assemble an old array on a new kernel without using the module parameter, +use either the +.B "--update=layout-original" +option or the +.B "--update=layout-alternate" +option. + .SS RAID1 A RAID1 array is also known as a mirrored set (though mirrors tend to diff --git a/mdadm.8.in b/mdadm.8.in index fc9b6a6..6b63bb4 100644 --- a/mdadm.8.in +++ b/mdadm.8.in @@ -1213,6 +1213,8 @@ argument given to this flag can be one of .BR no\-bbl , .BR ppl , .BR no\-ppl , +.BR layout\-original , +.BR layout\-alternate , .BR metadata , or .BR super\-minor . @@ -1364,6 +1366,21 @@ The .B no\-ppl option will disable PPL in the superblock. +The +.B layout\-original +and +.B layout\-alternate +options are for RAID0 arrays in use before Linux 5.4.
